Saga Dawa
Saga Dawa is one of the four most sacred periods within the Buddhist calendar, marking the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. It is said that merit is accumulated exponentially during this period, therefore we dedicate ourselves to the accumulation of virtue and the renunciation of non-virtuous attitudes, finding inspiration in life of Shakyamuni Buddha.
